I installed this today and I too had major battery drainage issues

Anybody know a fix for that? The only thing that comes to mind is wiping battery stats and using the battery calibration app, But I haven't tried it as yet. Still charging

---------- Post added at 05:03 PM ---------- Previous post was at 05:00 PM ----------

Ummmm I was having an issue like this before I attained S-OFF

Are you S-OFF and SuperCID?

You should probably do those things before you try flashing any roms.

this is thanks to [MENTION=2681593]sportsstar89[/MENTION]

without you this would not be possible!

I still have problems with the camera, but youtube and does not stop and you can play videos!

I upload in a few hours!​
[HTC Amaze 4G] Odysseus1962:
Outstanding Jose!!! Keep up the good work! Just please don't abandon this project. You're so close to getting the last few bugs squashed on JellyBean. If you can get this working stably, I'll abandon my CM-10.1.2 project. I don't care who or how it gets done, I'd just love to see a fully functioning JB ROM on our beloved Amaze. Again, keep on trucking! We're all pulling for you.
[HTC Amaze 4G] KT-82166:
There is still the hotspot issue
[HTC Amaze 4G] Odysseus1962:
When you say "hotspot issue" are you refering to WiFi tethering or to WiFi connectivity to a hotspot? If you mean the former, a well known workaround is to use http://code.google.com/p/android-wifi-tether/

I've used it on several recent ROMs here that didn't have fully functioning WiFi tethering with positive results. Until a native solution is found you may wish to try it out too and see if it works for you.

I hope this helps
[HTC Amaze 4G] KT-82166:
It didn't work for me but I will try again once the new build is posted
[HTC Amaze 4G] Odysseus1962:
You may have to try different configuration settings. There is one for the amaze, but there is also generic, and generic ICS. Also* trying an older version sometimes works when the latest doesn't. I found this to be the case when I needed to use this on my HD2. In that case I had to go back a few versions before I found one that worked for me The latest version is fairly recent and even the dev calls it a beta

Good luck.
[HTC Amaze 4G] KT-82166:
Yeah I have used different configs but I think someone else should test so that we will know if its a ROM problem or just me.

any changel log for new build
[HTC Amaze 4G] Odysseus1962:
[MENTION=4200595]josegalre[/MENTION] First of all I want to thank and congratulate you on your outstanding work on this ROM. I've been using it now for about 7 hours and I can honestly say that this is the closest I've seen yet to having a stable fully functional JellyBean ROM for our Amaze. I'm writing this while using it as we speak.

In fact, it's so close that I'm sure you will be able to achieve it very soon. It's so good that I may abandon my own attempt to build a CyanogenMod ROM. It's very smooth and I've experienced no graphical glitches. (EDIT: Read comment #5 below.) The only crashes I've experienced was with the camera and video app which is still very buggy. The list of major bugs I observed are as follows:

1) Data acquisition. It takes a long time to establish a steady stable signal. Sometimes up to five minutes. Once it locks in, data transfer is as fast as expected. It is a problem while driving, because by the time the signal is locked your moving out of range of the tower and the signal lost again. This is very similar behavior to what jeepers007 was having with his evervolv ROM before he solved it. Perhaps he can help you with yours.

2) WiFi tethering (I couldn't test Bluetooth because I left my headset in my cab at work). The radio transmits a strong signal that can be seen by my laptop but fails to establish a connection either with or without encryption.

3) The camera / gallery. This is the area that's furthest away from working properly. As mentioned my only crashes were when trying this out. Using the camcorder is impossible as it crashes shortly after opening. With both the camera and camcorder the view screen is nearly black so one is unable to aim or focus. Photos are OK but not great. They're too dark and have a greenish tint.

4) Both internal and external SD cards mount and can be seen in the file manager, but only if set to have root access, show symlinks, and hidden files. However the folder ext_SD on the internal SD card partition (sdcard0) and the symlink from it to the external removable SD card (sdcard1) is not created. Which is probably why the file manager only sees the external card with the settings I mentioned.

Edit: 5) One minor bug I discovered since I posted this morning. Every once in awhile all of the shortcuts and widgets will mysteriously disappear from the home screens except for the Google bar, then just as mysteriously reappear after launching an app . It's happened now 4 times... Very strange...

That's it! Everything else seems to be working. At least I couldn't find anything else. Again, thank you!

I hope this helps.

Ciao
[HTC Amaze 4G] rdar_93:
This is the most stable custom jelly bean I've come across so far. I actually had the missing shortcuts thing too, but I installed Holo HD launcher and that stopped.

My camera works, no colour distortion at all. All that's wrong with it is that its blurrier than the original 4.0's camera.

Ummmm........... I have a really big issue with the amount of ram this rom is taking up, just under 500mb for me.

:(

But all in all, this is a great rom and it's now my new daily driver.
[HTC Amaze 4G] Odysseus1962:
+1

I love this so far. It's got so many tweaks and customizations, and once you enable the performance enhancements...my gosh,...you can make this thing fly if you want.. If you want to get maximum battery or performance, you don't need any additional apps. It's freaking awesome. I would make this my daily driver too, right now, if the slow data acquisition issue wasn't there for me.

Did you try photos indoors? When I tried in my bedroom with defaults at auto the only thing I could see on the screen before pressing the blue button was my tv set. And like I said, camcorder kept crashing. I'm going to experiment for workarounds.

For the memory issue, get the customizations set up the way you want, then start experimenting with min free max free, freezing, sysctl, init.d settings, I bet you could nock 50mb off easy.
[HTC Amaze 4G] rdar_93:
Oooh I'll try taking photos inside.

I was thinking bout doing a v6 on this, but I think it wouldn't make that much of a difference.

I haven't tried the camcorder actually lmao I just usually take photos. If I ever need to take photos I just backup and reboot into stock T-Mobile for a day.

---------- Post added at 08:15 AM ---------- Previous post was at 08:06 AM ----------

I just tested the camcorder, it seemed to work fine with the quality on high, but not on super. Indoor pictures just come out blurry for me.

Um......

OH! Battery drain is an issue on my part. I tried wiping battery stats and calibrating it with the app from the playstore, it helped only a little.

Sometimes to save battery I just underclock to 1ghz, but idk if it really works.
[HTC Amaze 4G] Odysseus1962:
At first, battery drain was ridicules, but I was seeing how fast I could push it. After enabling performance tweaks, I set the min clock to 192 and max to over 1800! lol :). Like I said this thing was flying! But I couldn't get 2 hours. Then I got realistic and set max to the default, CPU governor to conservative, left SIO. Then using Android tuner I set so only 1 CPU was on most of the time, and have been experimenting with undervolting.

These helped quite a bit, but I think the data acquisition could be related or even the cause of the battery drain. When on the move the signal meter is bouncing all over the place and shifting between 2g, 3g, and H like a freaking pinball machine! I know all that switching can't be good for the battery. I bet when Jose gets that resolved battery will improve dramatically.

BTW for you guys living up North, if you overclock you won't need a hand warmer. When I had this set to max it got so hot I couldn't keep it in my pocket! lol

Please fix the data thing ASAP Jose. Because when you do you've got a winner here.
[HTC Amaze 4G] rdar_93:
I actually don't have a problem with the data thing because well, I don't have a data plan Lmfao

I use wifi all the time.

I tried setting up an APN and it told me that something needed at least 3 numbers before it could save, since I didn't know what they were talking about I just didn't bother lmao

I wish this rom had the feature of the status bar backlight adjustment, where you just slide the status bar to set brightness, Auto is good, just not my preference.
[HTC Amaze 4G] Odysseus1962:
[MENTION=4200595]josegalre[/MENTION] I hope you're able to get the slow data acquisition resolved soon. I used this ROM for most of the weekend and enjoyed it very much. As I said previously, that is main issue stopping me from making this my new daily driver.
[HTC Amaze 4G] unbreakable360:
sounds awesome, wondering is this rom compatible with HTC one S (ville S4)?
[HTC Amaze 4G] sarnz:
Does it support external sd card mounting??? Any jb rom tht does it??
[HTC Amaze 4G] SuperAfnan:
I'm pretty sure it does. That issue was on Evervolv KitKat but sports fixed it already. I don't think there were ext_sd issues on 4.3, or it would be stated in the description.
[HTC Amaze 4G] Odysseus1962:
Internal and external SD mount OK, but no symlink from ext-sd to SD card, so you need a file manager with root access to see and use it.
[HTC Amaze 4G] SuperAfnan:
[MENTION=4200595]josegalre[/MENTION] [MENTION=5463522]Odysseus1962[/MENTION]

Does it come up as "mksh" when it asks for root? If so, it just needs a symlink in the updater-script (located in the META-INF folder). Shouldn't be hard to fix. ;)
[HTC Amaze 4G] Odysseus1962:
Thanks for the heads up! I'll look into it on my device when I get home from work. I'm a truck driver, so the slow data signal acquisition is a show stopper for me. Right now I'm back on NRG rom.

I figured it was an easy fix to a startup or init file. As a workaround I was manually creating the symlink in the terminal, but every time I mount or unmount the SD card I'd have to manually recreate it again.
[HTC Amaze 4G] unbreakable360:
Well that Sucks need to find a new stable rom
[HTC Amaze 4G] Odysseus1962:
No it doesn't. Using the CM file manager, es file manager, or file managers that come with romtoolbox or android system tuner, I only get a request for root privileges, but no other msgs. It's not a big deal, I'll just have to work on an init script that creates the symlink whenever the SD card is mounted.
[HTC Amaze 4G] Odysseus1962:
Guys I just wanted to chime in with a few more observations, as I've been using this again now for the last 4 days. I'm to ready to declare this my new daily driver. Its really weird, but after a couple of days heavy use the data acquisition issue seems to have cleared itself up on its own and battery life has improved each day (why, I don't know). There are still several minor bugs that need squashing that will hopefully be resolved in upcoming releases.

I've been experimenting with different cameras, but still haven't found one to my liking, and I'm still looking for solutions to tethering.

Now I'm looking for a little help that maybe someone here could provide. First, I can't stand the ASOP / Google keyboard. After using the HTC one for some time I've gotten used to it and miss it greatly. Are there any keyboards available that closely resemble or mimic the HTC?

Second, I need help writing an init script or editing whatever relevant existing files that would automaticly create a symlink from the external SD to the ext-SD folder every time my SD card is mounted. I find that shortcut a real timesaver and makes searching for items on I the SD cards much easier. I've tried creating a flashable zip and manually creating from the terminal, but every time I unmount or reboot the link is gone and I have to redo it. Any help would be greatly appreciated. TIA

Blame Tyler

I am getting "Unforthunate, the process android.process.acore has stopped. Blame Tyler." and "Dialer has stopped. Blame Tyler." Anyone have any suggestions. Tried reinstalling with no avail.
[HTC Amaze 4G] KT-82166:
That happened to me and the funny part is that's my name.
[HTC Amaze 4G] Odysseus1962:
LOL It's all your fault then! I too started getting those messages after a few days of use and having installed all of my apps. I also started getting FCs with the browser and several gapps including the play store. There's also no way to easily change from the default system sounds or enable waking the device with the volume rocker.

I really like this ROM, I used it for over a week before giving up and going back to the old reliable energy. I hope Jose keeps working on it, as it's close, but still not quite ready for my daily use.
[HTC Amaze 4G] dpw9272:
Do you remember how to resolve it? I can't use the dialer or message app. Should I try a third party? If so any suggestions? For instance I get the blame Tyler on internet but not opera... Anyone??????
[HTC Amaze 4G] KT-82166:
i didnt. i had to go to energy Hopefully jose fixes it soon.
[HTC Amaze 4G] incapable86:
try this

on homescreen press menu button > manage apps

force stop, clear cache and data of browser, contacts, contacts storage(caution: will remove all contacts), dailer and messaging(will delete all the messages)

i've been using this rom since two weeks as daily driver without any issues. Thanks to jose :good:
[HTC Amaze 4G] dpw9272:
Thanks! That helped. It wouldn't sync my google account so I removed it and now when I select add account it goes back to the previous screen. It's no big issue. This is my back up phone. Thanks again for your help.

Update Adreno libs

Compile with O3 optimizations

Bug: exposure sensor still fails to function on camera​
[HTC Amaze 4G] haninatoon:
i like your work man
[HTC Amaze 4G] Odysseus1962:
Jose, first I want to say thanks! Second, I have a question. Did you compile the entire ROM with -03 or just the Adreno libs? I ask because one thing I've learned from using Gentoo for 12 years is that -03 optimization can add instability and dramatically increase the size of the binaries, thus requiring more RAM usage. I generally only compile at -03 those applications the developer suggest should be that high. This is why most devs use -0s or -02.

I'm downloading now, I can't wait to try this out.

Edit: In my haste to post I incorrectly used the number 0 in describing the optimization flags when it should be the letter O. So everywhere you read -0x above please understand I meant -Ox. Thanks.
[HTC Amaze 4G] josegalre:
if it increased the size of binaries and have used on this occasion o3, I thought that I could speed up the performance, if gives issue will go back to o2, this compilation is test, if there is the same mistake today compiled version with o2

Jose, I found a bug in the "ParanoidAndroid Settings" section. There are two entries each now for "Tablet UI", "Phablet UI", and "Stock UI" instead of one each.
[HTC Amaze 4G] josegalre:
My Friend are different,

1 - Phone with navbar

2 - Phone without navbar

3 - Phablet with nabvar

4 - Phablet without navbar

5 - Tablet

6 - Colors / / sometimes disappears, this is caused by crlf in a future version I will change by lf

changing the subject errors using o3?
[HTC Amaze 4G] Odysseus1962:
So far so good. No issues due to -O3 optimizations. The camera is much improved but I still have a problem saving video. Using a different one corrects the issue. Tethering is still broken, it broadcasts a signal and ssid, but doesn't connect. This is the only major issue.

ROM is smooth and stable. Only minor issue is sometimes the desktop widgets and shortcuts dissapear, but return if you enter the app drawer then exit it. Again, a minor issue. I like this very much.Not a bug, but it would be nice if there was an option to wake with volume rocker. My on / off switch is wearing out, so I always choose this feature when available.

I'm going to keep playing with it throughout the night. So far this is the best JB ROM I've tried yet for the Amaze. Excellent effort Jose!!!

Bug: exposure sensor still fails to function on camera​
[HTC Amaze 4G] Odysseus1962:
So far so good Jose. After using the -O3 version for about ten hours I think there are no issues due to compilation optimization. I figured out how to get the video to save. It's just a matter of telling the camera to save to the external SD card in the camcorder settings. The default want to save to the internal one, but then gallery can't find it. It takes clear sharp photos, but as you mention the exposure sensor isn't working yet. So if you start filming in bright light it will underexpose if you continue shooting into less light. Conversely, if you begin shooting in low light and go into brightness it will overexpose. The exposure settings in the menu seems to have no affect. Filming at 1080 will sometimes crash the camera, bit photos at 8mp are fine. I had no crashes at 720.

You've done a great job here. Congratulations and thanks again for your outstanding effort!

[HTC Amaze 4G] malar413:
Did you experienced some lags and unsensitive keyboard? Cause I have difficulties to write SMS and Email because it is very slow...
[HTC Amaze 4G] Odysseus1962:
No, probably because the first thing I do when I setup an AOSP ROM like this is to get rid of the included keyboard and install the Google one that comes with the various gapps packages I like. Then I make sure to setup to my liking in settings. My problem is fat fingering the kb not lag. Which is one of the reasons I like the sense kb better. Unfortunately, the sense kb only comes on sense ROMs. :(

I'm probably the Wrong guy to ask anyway. I text and post with my phone in portrait mode using only my right thumb to type. LOL
[HTC Amaze 4G] malar413:
Oh ok :P I'll tried to install the Google one. Yet I flashed full gapps package and I was thinking that it was automatically installed, but maybe I must uninstall the ASOP one. And I think you're right, the sense keyboard is probably one of the best we can use.

Thanks for the hint!
[HTC Amaze 4G] Odysseus1962:
There are several different versions of JB-4.3 gapps that are floating around. Since I use quite a few of Google's apps besides the basic ones, and since we have so much extra space in '/system' after installing modded ROMs, I install the "full" gapps package from the PA thread. It automatically replaces the AOSP KB with the Google one. This keeps more free space for other apps in '/data' and when combined with Titanium Backup I can integrate updates into /system. Also using It I can push other apps there freeing up more space. I've got over 500 apps on my handset at any given time, so I need space. Titanium Backup is one of the best purchases I ever made at the store.

Say is it possible for someone to compile/port PAC 4.2.2 because I need some features in 4.2 which care not available in 4.3.
[HTC Amaze 4G] Odysseus1962:
Jose I think there is a misunderstanding. I'm asking if you'll be updating this ROM (PAC-4.3) with the new kernel, not when you'll be releasing 4.4. I personally want to wait until the bugs are squashed before jumping to 4.4. TIA
[HTC Amaze 4G] josegalre:
I will try to implement some changes in the branch, "cm-11.0" to "cm-10.2"
[HTC Amaze 4G] KT-82166:
Why does everyone want 4.4 changes implemented in 4.3 when 4.4 is just as stable. It would make more sense with 4.2 because the only thing wrong with that is the audio issues and it has working tethering on some builds.
[HTC Amaze 4G] Odysseus1962:
4.4 just as stable as 4.3? You're kidding, right? You can't even use gapps or the default browser on 4.4, while 4.3 has only minor issues. I don't even think Jose did a 4.2 PAC ROM. If this were directed towards jeepers007 Evervolv ROM or sportsstar89 CM ROM then I'd agree with you, but both have said they've moved on and aren't going to work on the older version. It's a shame too, because both of those 4.2 ROMs were so close to being fully functional, far closer than subsequent versions have been. Perhaps you'd be better served by directing your opinion towards them.
[HTC Amaze 4G] sarnz:
